To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES C. ARM- a citizen of the United States,residing-at Marysv lle, Ohio, have invented cer- -tam new and usefulImprovements in Window or Like Screens, of which the followingis aspecification.

The screen as disclosed in said patent comprises essentiallyframe members between which the screen cloth is clamped, one of saidclamping members having a pivotal movement in relation to the otherclamping mem er whereby the screen cloth may-be My invention renewedbysimply removing certain fastening devices and moving the pivotedclamping member in relation to the main clamping member so as to providethe necessary opening for the introduction of the screen presentinvention relates to means k'eby the pivoted nserted in properpositionafter the win- '01" door frame}? com 'leted, the said me nsserving also; to:-'l eep the clamping inbers from working endwijse whenthey are tilted up for a "risertingthe I lli f atures and combinationand arrange rit of parts hereinafter described andpartioularlypointedout in the claims.

, channeled portion 7 is formed. by an over hanging part or flange 8 ofthe main frame member 1, and by reason of therelative dimensions andarran ements ofthe movable and fixed members, have found it necessa toprovide means whereby these movab leif members may be inserted into themain frame when this is 111 complete form; For

this purpose I cut away the endsof" the beveled or 'mitered portions ofthe movable clamping members as shownat 9, the cutadjacent ends of themovright angles to. each thus formed a filling away faces at the ablemembers lying at other and in the space piece 10 is inserted. Thisfilling piece 1 consists simply of a strip 'ofmetal having rounded sideor corner portions 11 and wardly extending arms or portions 12, ends ofwhich abut against each other and the .outer'faces of whichafiordbearings-for the cut-away ends ofthe mitered'sections or clampingmembers 4.
